i spent thanksgiving 2012 with the troops at a remote command outpost in afghanistan, in the mountains near pakistan. i was honored when an elite team of navy seals attended my farewell at the pentagon. if confirmed, i will devote time and attention to the management issues that i know dhs faces. as this committee knows, there are leadership vacancies within dhs of alarming proportions. as i speak, the department of government charged with the vital mission of homeland security has no secretary, no deputy secretary, and a number of other senior positions are vacant. if confirmed as secretary, my immediate priority, starting the day i take the oath, will be to work with the white house and the senate to fill the remainder of these key leadership positions. the other management challenges faced by dhs are also well known to this committee. if confirmed, i intend to continue the progress toward unqualified, audited financial statements. i will work to get dhs off the gao high risk list. i will be a hawk when it comes to identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the use of taxpayer dollars. if
